Light
The goal of this project is to understand the use of light. The use of light is very important for a space. It can affect the space by making it seem bigger then it actually is or even make it seem smaller then it really is.
Light Research:
Contextual Analysis :
This project is a non-denominational chapel on the campus of Farmingdale State College. The college wants this to be a spiritual place that people of all faiths can worship and reflect on life's events. The college wants this to be achieved by the use of light. So the purpose of this project is to understand how the use of light can affect the space of a building.
